Gen. Anderson on War Memorials.

Gen. Anderson, who commanded at
Fort Sumpter, South Carolina, at the
commencement of the civil war, in
April, 1861, wrote thus to Charles
Sumner II am glad to see that you,
like myself, are looking forward to the
time when this rebellion shall end,
and do not wish to see perpetuated on
canvas, or in marble, trace Of it's
having existed"
Gen. Anderson here writes like a
man of good common sense and a
broad minded patriot. How irration-
ry 10 every refined and delicate feel
ing, Of true patriotism and humanity,
to draw paintings and erect statues
and monuments to the honor Of men
who slaughtered each other in a civil
war-a slaughter of fellow country
men-how brutally stupid, how terri
bly, shocking to the spirit of philan-
thropy and the Christian religion, as
exemplified by it's Divine Founder.
But thousands and millions will re-
ply: "These works Of the painter, the
sculptor, and the stone cutter, are
done to give deserved honor to the pa
triots who gave or exposed their lives
for the good of their country"
But such works cultivate q pestifer-
Gus war spirit generally and vain
love of military glory in the thought
less minds Of boys and young men in
particular, and tend directly to i'll
volve the nation in wars, not only in
the present generation. but in far dis
tant years. The moral effects of such
things are evil and "only evil continu-
ally"
Let US look at such memorials OF
honor in private life. A brother Stays
his brother in hand to hand fight to
save his own life and the lives of his
other brothers. Now what would be
thought Of him if he should be great
ly delighted and proud at the thought
OF q painting, statue. or monument
to his honor from his brothers, in his
life time, or after his death. Why, il
they should be 80 infatuated in their
regard for his valiant service in pro.
tecting their lives in time of peril,
as to barely suggest such marks of hon
or and remembrance, he would at
once, If he were not a savage simple
ton, with tears and with horror beg
them never to hint TO him or to each
other during his life or after his death,
such tokens of love and respect fol
him for such an act. The fact that he
felt.it to be his duty to destroy the life
of an erring brother, to save his own
life and the lives of his other brothers
would be 40 terribly mournful that he
would tremble with grief and horror
at the prospect of such h0nOrs IN
memory Of that dreadfully lamenta
BILE action. And so it would be in pub
lie life (as all men are brothers, and al
war is fratricidaD if the abominable
and long established and falsely hon
ored practice of war, and the erection
of war memorials, had not, almost un'
iversally, disortlered the understand
ings, perverted the consciences, ant
betrayed the natures of mankind
causing them to put evil for good, er
ror for truth, darkness for light, de
ception for fact, cruelty for mercy, re-
venge for justice. folly for wisdom, ha
tired for love, and shame for glory.

What we are afraid to do before men,
we should be afraid to think before
God. He is the best Christian, not
who talks most of God, but who walks
most with God.
The stoutest difficulties, when over
come by grace divine, may be trans
formed into stepping-stones, leading
upward to the attainment of the per-
feet life.

"Women are tho mothers of men, -
and they can give the tender mind an
inclination to war or peace. What
they approve we follow; what they
condemn we abandon. Mind governs
matter; and though woman be the
weaker vessel, so far as it respects
physicrl force, in mind she often
shows herself to he the strongest.
Many man has not the moral courage
to plead for peace, for fear he shall he
accused of effeminacy and cOwardice.
Woman has no such fear. TO be the
advocate of peace is congenial to her
character. She who was "last at the
cross, and earliest at the grave" of the
great Prince of Peace, can still plead
for his cause. There is something pc
culiarly appropriate i'm woman's un-
dertaking the cause of peace. Men
make war: let women make peace.
Use your first influence for the promo
ton of the cause of peace in your OaU,l
family, on your husbands, brothers
sons. On all suitable occasions point
out the sin, the folly, and the miSeries
of war. l request my fair countrywo-
men to examine the conduct Of their
past lives. and their present feelings.
If you fail in known duty you are as
answ erable for the consequences OF
such neglect as though you had com.
mitted actual crime. If another wal
should sweep over our land, with all
it's demoralizing, soul-destr0ying con
sequences, can you clear the skirts Ot
your garments from the blood of souls
unless you do something to prevent
it? In moral revolutions women have
equal power, if not superior, to men
1t is i'm the power of the church Of
Christ, Of which women compose the
greater part, to put stop, to war III
Christendom, whenever it shall choose
to exercise that power.
England may be mistress of the
Cs." but she has never yet been able
to fairly master the HIS.

After the battle Is lost and Is won,
The field Of carnage turns each heart to stone
The field is drench'd with mans red blood,
And beasts OF prey fattcn OH human food.
Look ut those weapons OF wond'rous skill,
There lie the cannons shatterd and crush'd;
And all but the voices OF wolves are hush u
Husband from wife thus ruthlessly torn,
And widows and orphans left TO mourn;
Was 1t for this that men were born?
Angels must weep at such scenes below.
And devils laugh at the bitter woe;
While God In his anger beholds what's done,
After the battle Is lost and Is won.
